Provided by: libperl-critic-perl_1.152-1_all bug

NAME
       Perl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::ProhibitSingleCharAlternation - Use "[abc]" instead of "a|b|c".


AFFILIATION
       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.


DESCRIPTION
       Character classes (like "[abc]") are significantly faster than single character alternations (like
       "(?:a|b|c)").  This policy complains if you have more than one instance of a single character in an
       alternation.  So "(?:a|the)" is allowed, but "(?:a|e|i|o|u)" is not.


CONFIGURATION
       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.


CREDITS
       Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the Perl Foundation.
